I did the medical with an IAA AME as I was told that the CAA will accept this.
However he was concerned that this restriction on my license will mean I can only fly in British airspace.
Is this the case?

Cheers
Ian
the CAA will allow colour blindness, but not, pain killers ! when will this madness stop !
good luck with your quest, I have heard, that the FAA medical is less "stringent" than our's, why not get a FAA Licence
